Find your internal (network) IP address

Click the network menu on the menu bar.

Select Connection information.

Your internal IP address will be displayed as the IP Address.

Click Close to close the Connection Information window.

Find your external (internet) IP address

Visit whatismyipaddress.com.

The site will display your external IP address for you.

Depending on how your computer connects to the internet, these addresses may be the same.
